Recent improvements and upgrades to the software that drives Chelton’s FlightLogic synthetic-vision EFIS have been keeping the company’s R&D engineering staff almost as busy as it was in the months leading to certification of the avionics system.

The latest software update, version 5.0A, includes more than 130 individual changes, according to the manufacturer, about 35 of which will be noticeable to pilots familiar with the current FlightLogic system. Among the features that Chelton Flight Systems has added are enhanced Vnav functions and flight planning using victor airways and jet routes and color airspace boundaries that show restricted or prohibited airspace in red, MOAs and warning areas in yellow, Class B airspace in blue and Class C and D in green.
